Water quality in rivers has clear knock-on effects for water out at sea. Researchers have examined how excess nutrients in rivers, from fertilisers and industrial pollution, can influence whether the coastal sea they flow into acts as a source or a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide. Human activities, such as using large quantities of fertilisers and discharging industrial and municipal waste ...

Greenhouse-gas emissions from human activities do not only cause rapid warming of the seas, but also ocean acidification at an unprecedented rate. Artificial carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere has been proposed to reduce both risks to marine life. A new study based on computer calculations now shows that this strategy would not work if applied too late. CDR cannot compensate for ...
